King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
15
Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others. Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand,
16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
16
so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else’s territory.
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
17
But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”
